Wiimote Working On OS X

If you thought Mac users were going to be left in the cold when it came to using the Wiimote on a computer, you were wrong. A perfectly titled application called DarwiinRemote allows you to use that Bluetooth Wii controller as a peripheral on your Mac. In the video, the gentleman using the remote shows us how you can drag windows and interact with OS X all by using this program developed for OS X. There’s even a real-time chart running in the background that shows the activity done by the Wiimote.
This looks pretty legit. I have a Mac but no Wii to test this out with. Guess I’ll just have to keep replaying this video until that Royksopp song gets stuck in my head.

Another step toward entertainmac. I hope to eventually hook up my mac to an hdtv for a warm and fuzzy entertainment experience. This would be a nice addition.

im having trouble understanding why you would ever want to use the wiimote for the mac. or a pc. or anything other than a wii.

The song is “Remind Me” by royksopp (http://www.royksopp.com/)
I really dig that song.
On a side note, maybe i’ll be able to use the Wiimote during a presentation. That would be cooler than the standard laser pointer.
